We have 12 solar panels on our roof, 3.48kw.  We also have a Solar iBoost to divert free electricity to our hot water tank.  When it works it is great.

However, we have got through a few of these devices and we are now out - by a long way - of our warranty period.  I have spoken to the manufacturer of the device and they cannot see why the unit fails frequently at our house.  One suggestion that I came up with and they agreed was to route the device through a surge protector.  This I do not know how to do or what would be the best scenario.

Link to the device is here

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks, Daniel.

 
Another consideration is ambient temperature, it *should* be designed to handle a warm airing cupboard, however if it was to be buried in fluffy towels, or anything else that would make the environment even warmer then it could be a contributing factor
